Boundaries & Access
Blocking as Access Control, Not Punishment
Blocking them isn't punishment. It's protection.
KNOWN
- Whether incoming contact destabilizes your decisions
- Whether prior contact repeatedly restarted the same cycle
- Whether you can maintain the boundary without blocking
UNKNOWN
- How they will interpret being blocked
- Whether blocking will make them miss you or change
PATTERN
A boundary is about controlling your access and participation, not engineering another person's reaction.
BOUNDARY
Use blocking only when it serves a boundary you intend to keep, not as a test, threat, or strategy for producing pursuit.
NEXT ACTION
Decide what access you are protecting yourself from and what condition, if any, would justify changing that access later.
